Tao Hueng. 3Floor Carnarvon Plaza, Carnarvon Road
This restaurant starts at 7.30am and they only serve dim sum until noon time.
Since it is recommended by many on the internet, I would expect it to be quite nice. We've ordered the usual and here's our verdict
BBQ pork buns- dough is nice and fresh but pork is rather bland.
Siew Mai - too much fatty pork used in the mince
Har Gao- the skin is too tough (taste old too)
Turnip cake- taste sour!!! Have to be old or stale
Sweet and sour pork- I thought it taste alright. Craig thinks it's old or being deep fried long time ago.
Prawn rice roll (Chee Cheong Fan) - probably the best among the 6 dishes.
Part of the restaurant.
Halfway through the meal I knew they use MSG as my tongue is stinging and so is Craig. I am so thirsty afterwards. It is rather disappointing that any restaurant will need to use MSG (or similar) to make their dishes taste better.
Food rating
Worth getting fat for ? Not at all
Will I return back for more? No
Ambiance? Nice cosy atmosphere
Customer Service? We got a trainer as our server and she brought the wrong order the 1st time and after we pointed out to her, she apologized and explained she's just started work. The following dishes are brought by different kitchen staff who are friendly enough
